Employers in Fayetteville (Washington: school, college, post office)

[The_Sage1]

I am beginning to search for jobs in Fayetteville over the internet, and I am wondering what places are the big time employers in Fayetteville(aside from Walmart). I'm not necessarily talking professional...I have a HS diploma and some college under my belt. I'm just looking for something more than 7.50 an hour that doesn't require a college degree.

The U of A is the biggest employer, and Fayetteville in general is more reliant on government jobs that the rest of the area--the other big ones are the VA hospital, various agencies in the Federal building plus other offices such as Social Security, the post office, and since Fayetteville's the county seat there are lots of jobs at the county building and the jail. And of course the local school system and the city government itself are big employers.

Aside from those, Washington Regional Medical is big. Superior, Tyson, and Pinnacle have largish factories. P&G has a big office that services Wal-Mart...not sure if you'd exclude that or not. As elsewhere, the various utility companies employ large numbers of people. There's a bunch of other small-to-medium factories that employ 100 to 300 or so people. Lots of people commute to Walmart, Tyson, and JB Hunt.

I'm sure other forum members know of some others that I've neglected to mention.
